COD FILLETS WITH ORANGE AND CRACKED GREEN OLIVE SALSA

Cod Fillets With Orange and Cracked Green Olive Salsa image

This is exquisitely delicious! Based on a recipe from Diane Kochilas' Against the Grain cookbook. She says, "Oranges and olives are the telltale signs of the cooking of Morocco, whence this fresh cod dish originally hails." Cooking time includes the 1 hour the salsa chills in the 'fridge.

Ingredients

1 small navel orange
4 plum tomatoes, fresh, peeled, seeded, and chopped
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup green olives, pitted Greek, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon capers, drained and finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh marjoram or 2 teaspoons oregano
4 other white-fleshed fish fillets such as halibut fillets or 4 perch fillets
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely chopped
2 teaspoons orange zest, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

Salsa:.
Zest the orange (i.e., scrape the orange against the fine-toothed side of a cheese grater) and reserve for the fish. Peel the orange, completely removing the pith. Cut it into 1/4 -inch dice.
In a bowl, combine all the salsa ingredients, cover, and let stand for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
Fish:.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly grease a large shallow baking dish large enough to fit the fish in one layer.
Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
Place fish in the pan.
Sprinkle the fish with the lemon and orange zests.
Drizzle olive oil over the fish.
Bake for about 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook.
Remove to a platter, spoon salsa and any pan juices over, and serve.
